Moreno still Reds’ ideal signing

Liverpool refuse to give up on Spanish target

Liverpool have not given up on signing Sevilla’s Alberto Moreno, but they are looking at alternatives, according to reports from the Liverpool Echo.

The Spanish left-back – who narrowly missed out on a spot in his nation’s World Cup squad – has been mooted as one of the Reds’ top summer targets for some time, and it was thought that a deal for his signature was close to completion a matter of weeks ago.

But despite talk of a £16m fee having been agreed, the Europa League champions have since had a change of heart and are now thought to be demanding around £20m.
